Haven't posted in a bit here......I'm going to retire from handsorting.

I've got me a little toy now. Called a Ryedale................!

Best of luck to all of my fellow handsorters.

$15.00 (SHORTED FOUR CENTS TOTAL) - 25 CWRs & 5 BWRs


1959 - 1981 Cu pennies - 284

Cu "S" Mint Mark - None

1982 Cu - 13
1982 Zinc - 1
(1982 Pennies are checked on a digital scale)

Indian Head - None

Wheats - 4 (NO Pre-40 Wheats)

Canadian Cu - None

2009 - LP1 - 1
2009 - LP2 - 1
2009 - LP3 - 1
2009 - LP4 - 0
(2009 is the year our son married so I keep the 2009 coins for anniversary coin jars for future anniversary gifts.)

Other -- 38/2010 Shield Pennies -- These were all found in one of the BWRs. I think it is what you call a "dirty roll". No Cu pennies in that roll at all, not even a 1982.
1/1998 "Wide AM";
1/1996P US Dime
(found in a CWR)

*Please Note: I do not keep track of the kids' birth years (both are zinc years) any longer, although I save them, unless it is some spectacular amount in a roll.


Enjoy your coin searches, everyone. :geek:
